Cookies are essential to the functioning of the internet and cannot damage the User's computer/device. Under no circumstances are cookies viruses, Trojans, worms or spam, nor can they open pop-up windows or unwanted advertising.
2. Types of cookies we use
2.1. By the entity that manages them
- First-party cookies: sent to the User's terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested is provided.
- Third-party cookies: sent to the User's terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
2.2. By how long they remain active
- Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page. They are typically used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested.
- Persistent cookies: the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
2.3. By purpose
- Technical cookies: those necessary for browsing and for the proper functioning of the website. They do not require the User's consent.
- Personalization cookies: allow the User to access the service with certain general predefined features based on a series of criteria in the User's terminal (for example, language or browser type).
- Analytics or measurement cookies: allow the party responsible for them to track and analyze the behavior of Users on the websites to which they are linked, including measuring the impact of ads.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: store information about Users' behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which makes it possible to develop a specific profile in order to display advertising based on it.
